Testing Oxygen Isotope Analysis and Mg/Ca Ratios for the Investigation of Oyster ( Crassostrea virginica ) Harvesting in Ancient Tampa Bay, Florida, USA
Shellfish remains are among the most abundant materials recovered from coastal archaeological sites and provide valuable archives for reconstructing past environments and human subsistence strategies. Mollusc shells incorporate chemical variations during growth that reflect environmental conditions, including the chemical composition of seawater and sea surface temperatures. This record can be used to infer the season of collection and the age an…
Investigating shellfish harvesting and provisioning in Florida’s largest open-water estuary, Tampa Bay, Florida, USA (ca. AD 200–1000)
Landscape modifications produce a myriad of long-lasting ecological and cultural legacies. In some cases, such practices may necessitate the need for proprietorship systems and cooperation among actors and institutions, particularly if these modifications lead to more favorable habitats. In Tampa Bay, Indigenous shell-terraforming generated conditions more suitable for tidal wetland habitats that descendants would have benefited from. We suggest …
Multidimensional Experiences of Oystering: Investigating Selectivity and Management in Contemporary and Precolonial Oyster Assemblages From Tampa Bay, Florida, USA
Oysters are ecologically and culturally significant to communities worldwide. Their presence in precolonial shell middens attests to their longstanding importance to coastal societies, a relationship that is exemplified along Florida's Central Gulf Coast. However, archaeological investigations into oyster harvesting in the region have been mainly economic-centered. Our study enlists the concept of oyster merroir—the connection between the charact…
Archaeo-Tempestites and Coastal Taphonomy of Shell-Bearing Sites: Native American Sites in Florida as a Case Study
Firefly synchronicity and platform mound building by indigenous peoples of the Florida Peninsula, USA
Although archaeologists often highlight the capacity of our field to identify broad-scale patterning in human societies, critiques of social evolution led many to focus on shorter-term, local histories. Drawing from a recent review of alternative models, we employ firefly synchronicity – the rhythmic coordination of flashing observed in some species of bioluminescent fireflies – as a model for understanding patterning in the timing of platform mo…
Geoarchaeology and Coastal Morphodynamics of Harbor Key (8MA15): Indigenous Persistence at a Partially Inundated Native Shell Mound Complex in Tampa Bay, Florida
Applying a coastal-geoarchaeological approach, we synthesize stratigraphic, sedimentological, mollusk-zooarchaeological, and radiometric datasets from recent excavations and sediment coring at Harbor Key (8MA15)-a shell-terraformed Native mound complex within Tampa Bay, on the central peninsular Gulf Coast of Florida. We significantly revise the chronological understanding of the site and place it among the relatively few early civic-ceremonial c…
Hidden in Plain Sight: Digital Documentation of Cockroach Key (8HI2), a First Millennium Native American Mound Complex on the Western Coast of Florida, USA
We present digital documentation of the Cockroach Key archaeological site in Tampa Bay on the western coast of Florida, USA. The site consists of a mound and midden complex constructed by Native Americans between around 100 and 900 CE. Although well known to antiquarians of the 1800s and archaeologists of the early 1900s, the site has slowly become “hidden in plain sight” to both archaeologists (owing to the lack of contemporary investigations) a…
Let Us All Enjoy the Fish”: Alternative Pathways and Contingent Histories of Collective Action and Governance Among Maritime Societies of the Western Peninsular Coast of Florida, USA, 100–1600 CE
Ethnographers have ably documented the great extent and diversity of social institutions that contemporary fishers and shellfishers employ to collectively manage common property resources. However, the collective action regimes developed among ancient maritime societies remain understudied by archaeologists. We summarize research into the development and form of collective action among the maritime societies of the western peninsular coast of Flo…
